November 14, 2011 - The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) must select a new leader after government forces killed their top commander Alfonso Cano on November 4. His successor will come from among the six remaining members of FARC’s ruling secretariat: Rodrigo Londoño-Echeverry, 52, also known as Timochenko, and Luciano Marín Arango, 56 also known as Iván Márquez, seen as the frontrunners.
